So I cant find any info on this DDO penny. Not a lot of doubling on letters or date but clear as day doubling of the portrait. Let me know what I have found please.

Your coin has Machine Doubling (MD) also referred to as Strike Doubling. The devices are reduced in size, which is a marker for MD. Also, the doubling is shelflike.

Machine Doubling is common and happens due to a mechanical issue with how the coin is struck. Not a doubled die and doesn't increase the value of the coin.

More info here: https://errorvariety.com/OFD/MD.html


In this particular case, it is also known as "Portrait Doubling"...as MD seems to happen often enough on the portrait that they gave it a special nickname.
